[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
I have been getting mixed requests for the end date of the contest. Some want it sped up, while most (from what I can tell) want it pushed back so devs have more time to make better widgets. I kinda vote for pushing it back, but I want more user opinions. Remember if you are not a dev, you might not know how hard it is to develop and test these widgets so consider that before you vote.

Also keep in mind, this is my first contest and I am completely open to suggestion (even more so from those who are developing or who have donated) on how it should be ran.
[G1 Android Development] nEx.Software:
I will likely be done by the tenth, but it might be nice to have an extra week to polish things. I certainly don't need another month.
[G1 Android Development] Lieu10ant:
think of it this way, the later the date is, it wont hurt anybody. the EARLIER it is, the devs that are struggling WILL be effected. i think it would be fair to give everyone more than enough time.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
I voted for the latest date. Like the theme contest, I'd rather wait to see what kind of polished and innovative widgets devs can come up with, rather than pushing the date just so users can get their hands on them first.
[G1 Android Development] nEx.Software:
I think we have to also consider though that after developers put a lot of time and effort into a product, they want to release it when it is release-ready. This is especially true if they intend to charge for these products (Widgets, in this case). In many (maybe even most) cases, a developer will make more from the selling of their Application than they'd get from any "bounty" or "prize" so we may see developers ditching the contest in order to release their products. That would, of course, be counter-productive. As both a user and a developer, I understand both sides though. As a user I only want the best and am willing to wait (a reasonable time) for the best. As a developer, I want to release when my product is ready because speed to market is an extremely important aspect of business.

I found it kind of funny that this poll isn't even set to close until after the 10th. :)
[G1 Android Development] AbsoluteDesignz:
May 31st because it's my bday :-)
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
I just typed in 15 days lol. Doesnt really matter, I kinda have an idea already.

nex, I get your point, but even if a dev drops out of the contest to polish it more, we still win. The fact that they started making a widget makes the users winners :)

So far it seems 2 weeks more is what most ppl want. I will wait another day or 2 to make the decision but that seems to be the winner.
[G1 Android Development] wellsie:
As a developer, whose so far only dipped his toe in the Android pool, but has an idea I've voted for the end of May so I can have a stab at this; even with the longest time I probably won't manage to get anything finished due to work & family but at least I've got a shot!

Hey,

My wifi connects perfectly on my excalibur. The internet's working fine. Then, all of a sudden it drops out for a while, then works again. Any fixes? Gets annoying after a while.
[HTC Excalibur] orb3000:
Welcome to the forum

Do a hard reset

Maybe someone have another advice, but hard reset always helps:)

Be sure to back up your data first

Good luck,
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Thanks everyone, I no longer need any more mirrors. I think we have enough (or too many) right now.
[G1 Android Development] PhaseBurn:
More than happy to offer hosting space and bandwidth. I'm on an unmetered line on my own hardware in a good datacenter, I'd be happy to host it for you...
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Great. if you can provide an ftp to an empty folder I will upload the file when I get it. If not you can just pm me when you get the file hosted and I will add it to the list. Whatever works best for you.
[G1 Android Development] Tylerspilker:
When the official cupcake drops will it automatically update to that OTA if you are on 1.43 or would you be stuck until you ran the JF Cupcake update?

Just wondering. I will check with my host and see how much bandwidth I am allotted (I just switched hosts).
[G1 Android Development] joey3002:
I too am able to provide a mirror for you.
[G1 Android Development] Nayyak:
I have a silly question/suggestion

why don't you use a free file hosting service such as rapidshare and megaupload ?
[G1 Android Development] mony87:
I have slow international upload (1mbit) but i am on guaranteed channel (a.k.a business account) and have no bandwidth or simultaneous connections limit. The server is rock stable. If you think that such a slow connection can help please reply me and i will provide an ftp account for the update.
[G1 Android Development] piercednevins:
Rapidshare and megaupload don't allow you to provide direct links to the file (at least I don't think they do), and he's needing direct links in order to let JF Updater use them as mirrors. BUT, I *think* drop.io does let you copy and send the direct link. I think I have done it...its been a while. I'll test it out.
[G1 Android Development] piercednevins:
Nope. Doesn't work. They time-out after a minute or so.
[G1 Android Development] dhaze:
I can offer 1tb of transfer to this project, 100mbit .us link
[G1 Android Development] drak0:
I can offer some bandwidth as well :)
[G1 Android Development] piercednevins:
I can put it in my public dropbox folder on getdropbox.com if you want. I tested it out, and it will work. here's a link: https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1034365/Top%20Secret.txt

can someone verify?
[G1 Android Development] blueheeler:
Sure ...

We have unlimited bandwidth on our own VPS with 1&1. We will be glad to offer to be a mirrow.

Feel free to contact me:

[G1 Android Development] raydekok:
i say great. there is a lot of space availible. so let the build come
[G1 Android Development] giantcrazy:
You might want to delay the automatic update for a few days (if not a week). Let the people who really want the update do so manually (via rapidshare,etc.) and then the traffic consumed but the JFUpdater crowd will have diminished significantly.
[G1 Android Development] afoulke:
You can use the mirror off my site (androidevolve.com)
[G1 Android Development] fgizzard:
isn't this one of the use cases bittorrent solves best?
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
More than likely, yes, bittorrent would be a good idea for these. Just so long as there's a true or truely mirrored torrent, and not force us to go searching on TPB or a site like that.
[G1 Android Development] nickmgray:
I have plent of space available on htcsource.com, just send me the file when ready and I'll send you back the link.
[G1 Android Development] jzakhar:
I can offer up some mirror space on a 10mb link us co-location. Send a PM if its still needed.
[G1 Android Development] bakgwailo:
I second bittorrent... I mean really, we can all share our bandwidth that way:)

Have an 'official' download and mirror, but also offer a torrent link. Personally, I find torrent to be the best option :)
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
I totally agree with the Bittorrent.

I'm sure hundreds of people wouldn't have an issue with letting a torrent sit and seed for a while. At first you will be hammered, however with several dozen people seeding and letting it grow for a week or two it will smooth out and then as seeds drop you will have kept your bandwidth from taking a hammering and when it dies tons of people like my self will feel like they contributed something. ;)

Heck as well have dedicated download areas. I'm almost willing to bet that a lot will choose the Bittorrent file because they can share and help out. I know I will be one of them if it goes that route.

I can easily host an upload at home at 768k connection for hours on end and then reduce it if I need to and then kill it when I think I've contributed towards the project. Heck if we all uploaded at least 1:1 at a minimum that would cut the bandwidth in 1/2 across the board.

I have access to 3000GB a month in Bandwidth if you need it.
[G1 Android Development] fgizzard:
right, if darkrift hosts the torrent as well as the actual update (or even offers it only via torrent), that should assuage most of the bandwidth crunch.
[G1 Android Development] chegers:
I can provide bandwidth for this i am running my own hardware at Bluesquare in Maidenhead and have got 3TB to my disposal of which i only use about 50GB a month max.

If you need this hosted on a 100mbit reliable connection then please PM me on here and i will get something setup, i would be happy to help the community.

Kind Regards Greg
[G1 Android Development] darkflare:
I recommend bittorrent too. Why not release a bittorrent version before releasing a direct download? the serious crowd will know how to get the bittorrent version and will be more than happy to support it by seeding.

I think its important to delay the direct download release though otherwise people will choose the lazy fast route of direct download over torrent. If you delay then it will force people onto bittorrent in turn supporting the distribution network.

just my 2 cents
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Torrents will not work. The updater uses wget to download the update so it has to be a direct link to the file. There are no torrent clients for Android yet so the updater would have no way to download the file. I am guessing a lot of you have never used the updater so you dont know how it works (try it, you might like it). It basically reads a file on my server and finds if there is a newer version. If so, it alerts you and brings up a box asking to download it. When the download is finished it asks if you want to reboot and auto applies the update.

Thanks to everyone who has offered to mirror. Those who have pm'd me FTP I will put the file on your site as soon as I get it. To the rest, I will try to message you with the file url so you can mirror it once its out. I think we have more than enough mirrors now to keep up with the demand.
[G1 Android Development] kizer:
True for the Updater you need regular sites, but for those that update manually you could use Bittorrent.
[G1 Android Development] serialtoon:
I can load it up on Skydrive and provide a direct link afterwards.
[G1 Android Development] mr_black03:
ive got storage and UNLIMITED BW i can give to this cause http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=500573

[G1 Android Development] sinbot:
I agree. I had actually posted the 1.42 update.zip to demonoid but after a few weeks it had only been downloaded 3 times.

Edit: nevermind I see this is for the JF updater app for android.
[G1 Android Development] zeezee:
Like i said in the pm i have unlimited space, unlimited bandwith, and basically unlimited FTP accounts, and then naturally directlinks. (these work with programs as i use the site for my programs to get updated lists/data/settings from files i remotely store on my server.)
[G1 Android Development] surillis:
I can host too via my website have plenty of xfer and good speeds.
[G1 Android Development] Redeye:

[G1 Android Development] Ryanmo5:
I will upload it to my mediafire account when it comes out, my mediafire files are in my signature. I know that's not exactly what you were asking for but its another option for users.
[G1 Android Development] jordanjay29:
So let those of us who download stuff manually (yes, there's still a few who prefer to be near their computers when they flash, just in case there's a problem) download it via bittorrent.

Those of us who can't contribute in bandwidth can at least seed for those who prefer manual downloads.
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:

[G1 Android Development] James1012:

[G1 Android Development] t3mulligan:
hosting

i can mirror, i'll pm you
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Thank you to everyone who has offered hosting. I have received what I hope is enough (20 or so) logins for mirrors. If you mirror the update once it is out you can pm me the url to the file and I will manually add it. As of now I think we are good. I was surprised by the massive rush of pm;s I have received from this thread and can barely handle just sorting through all of the offers. Thanks again.
[G1 Android Development] tagno25:
Bittorrent programs

There is a bittorrent program for Linux that is python based and there is python for android, so ti should be easily doable. Or you could try compiling rtorrent (and all dependencies) for android. You do not need a bittorrent app that has a GUI.
[G1 Android Development] DroidDev:
Mirror

I am up to offer you space on my server i am currently also hosting downloads for Haykuro just let me know i have unlimited space and bandwidth :D
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
Think about this... Android phones serving files through torrent to other phones. We all know how a new torrent starts out very slow. Imagine if they were all served from a phone. Talk about waiting months for an update....
[G1 Android Development] TemporalShadows:
Not to mention the MASSIVE amount of connections BitTorrent initiates. It would be slower than the mirror approach AND would probably catch the eye of TMo. Not to mention draining the battery like you wouldn't believe.

Been into anime for the last 15 years and seen countless series come and go, some are still going strong. Do not consider myself an otaku, though. I don't spend money on it.

I don't have a list of favorites. That would be silly. Anime is a "use then discard" type of product for me, like movies and live action series. One thing though, One Piece IS FOREVER!!!1 As a perfectly healthy individual in his prime years, I hope I get to live long enough to see the ending.

Hi,

If you flash Hard-SPL, you can flash any Polaris ROM.

You can't flash ROM's for other devices like Diamond or something else.

Greets

mutant92
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Steady Ron:
Like mutant92 says, after HARDSPL you can flash any rom you like, just follow the instructions that goes with it in its first post. Afterwards you can get back to the original rom. I'll tip you to look around some more on this forum under 'Polaris upgrading etc.'. All your questions will be answered there.

There's one thing: make sure the HARDSPL works by testing it.

If you want it strictly Norwegian use this one.

Greetz, Steady Ron.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] datalife321:
Hello all, I have a slight problem. I was going to do a fresh install on my phone with a nice new ROM. Things have been running slow and it was time for a change. I was trying to back my contacts up in outlook so I installed outlook 2007 on my pc. After that was completed I was going to sync my phone with outlook but activesync was not working correctly. When I went to change the settings in my phone, I got ahead of myself and ok'ed a command to delete the current sync on my phone. When this happened I lost all of my contacts. :mad: B/c I never got to sync them with my new outlook I do not have any on my pc. Is there anyway to get them back? Is it stored somewhere on the phone until a new sync is made? Please help!!!

I am running a DCD 4.1.2 ROM
[Mogul, XV6800 General] drewcam888:
Sorry but you have lost them. next time try something like PIMbackup.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ansar.ath.gr:
Dear forum members,

During my rom development from 6.1 to 6.x/7.0 i faced an interesting and undocumented MS registration.

I think it is the Real Rom Version in any Rom cooked or genuine.

If you do not have regedit or dotfred taskmanager all ready installed, install it first.

Now you can go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\IFFS and see the two values:

1. MajorV: 0x00050002(327682) [ This is the OS version 5.2 (for examble) ]

2. MinorV: 0x00004B0C(19212) [ This is the Build version 19212 (for examble) ]

Read it to find the MS/Real (?) version of your rom.

N.B.: Do not try to change them because you may end up with a non working rom that needs hard reset.

Regards, ansar
